Change the registry setting in Valhalla GPSServer as follows:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode=0, then soft reset.

This one disables the AGPS mode to use the GPS standalone mode. So no data plan is necessary. The lock is not as fast as agps but still locks in 2 min in cold start in open ground. The satellite number is not as many either, but still OK to get Google Maps and iGuidance working.

If it doesn't lock sometimes, just soft reset the phone.

Thanks Thenikonian for the great tips!
Nothing new, we already told you that you didn't need a data plan for the GPS to work & why would you? That is the whole point of having it unlocked.
